I approached my gym crush .....

esmeralda44

For a few months now I have been crushing on a extremely gorgeous/hot guy at my gym. I am very serious about my workouts and so is he, I always have my earphones on and so does he. I am a very outgoing woman but not at the gym, I don't socialize at the gym. I try not to make eye contact with guys at my gym because I don't like to be hit on (I already feel vulnerable lifting weights around men). Over a month ago or so he approached me earphones off, and asked if I was done with the bench I was previously using, and I frozed up so I shook my head yes. I was already leaving I was putting on my sweater, I didn't take off my ear phones, and walked away. As I am walking to my car I felt horrible because I felt that it was rude but I think is that I feel shy around him. Fast forward two weeks ago, I am sitting on a leg raise machine and he asked if he could use the machine next to me, this time I took off my earphones and asked him if I could use it after he was done. After he was done he cleaned the bench and I said thank you, but he didn't hear me because of his earphones, and of course did not even turn back. I am not the person that stares but I caught him staring at me and as soon as I sense him looking at my he looks away. He never talks to anyone but seems very confident (the way he carries himself). Okay so so cutting to the point I approached him yesterday by the water fountain and told him thanx for cleaning up the bench and that I told him thank you but he didn't hear me. He said not to worry he is used to people not having gym etiquette...yes he talked to me for less than 3 min and the good thing is that he smiled but I was nervous as hell. I aslo asked him for help with raising a bench and after I told him thanx he just left. Then he left to a different side of the gym and I continued with my workout. He didn't ask for my name, nor it was nice to meet you, maybe I miss read all the signs, or maybe he has someone in his life. :frown:

Btw Op. Why dont you ask him what his name is. Hes probably shy. Keep saying hi to him everytime you see him. Maybe he'll get the hint.

Good idea! Being friendly without assuming too much may make it easier on you, maybe?? I'm anxious to hear what happens in next week's episode.

Good luck!

He is probably as nervous and awkward as you are.
I wouldn't worry about it.
kind regards,

I would learn how to RUN! It has taken me many long years to realize that someone who cannot or will not feel comfortable with or around me OR who makes ME feel uncomfortable is not going to add to the beauty of my life. Longing and yearning and pining are vastly over-rated.

monty619

honestly if thats all u would have done i would never have gotten any sort of hint.. that type of stuff happens all of the time how are we supposed to know lol.. u ask for his name then it would make it much more obvious and its a much greater hint.

Yes stupid me, I didn't ask for his name because I was so nervous.....

/dear diary.


anyway, sounds like he is just in the zone when he works out and doesn't have time for chatter. Some days I don't really want to talk to people in the gym, probably why he keeps his headphones in.

Try to talk to him on the way out or outside, of when he has finished. If all else fails just write your number on a piece of paper and give it to him.

esmeralda44

Thanks!! I will see him Saturday again hopefully....

esmeralda44

So true I am an overthinker...that's why it took me forever to grow a pair to approached him

^ THIS.

But seriously, he's probably just as shy as you

Yes, I love the gym I won't stop going which is the other reason why I didn't want to approach him.
